If this is accurate and the Redskins are penalized with the removal of 36 million in cap space. I don't see how they can sign Jackson. Granted they can split this penalty into two seasons, but I don't see the benefit of backloading this penalty with so much lost with RGIII trade. This will give new found leverage to the bears in signing jackson. If he wants to win and make good money the bears are a logical fit. If he wants to be a rich loser then he should just sign in Tampa.

Bears also have a few more million in cap room (1.6M or so is what is reported as a result of this move). So now they fall into the 32M range (including rollover). This includes the cuts of Adams/Omilaye.

You're forgetting we franchised Forte. It was reported we had 29 million. Forte will cost close to 7 million. That brings us down to 22+. I'm thinking we'll take the "wait and see" approach when it comes to that extra 1.6 and should we use it this year or next.
